Abstract
Bronchial Asthma (BA) is a disease affecting a large proportion of the population in the tropics, including Cuba. BA is caused by a multiplicity of factors, weather variations being one of these. The weather influences the thermoregulatory mechanism of patients, causing a significant increase in the number of affected people during periods of the year, when greater climatic variations are present.
